Jan-24-11  ozmikey: If there's a game collection "Sacrifices on empty squares", 20...Nf2!! certainly belongs in it - a classic of the genre! The follow-up is nice too, with the knight covering f2 for the back-rank mate if the queen is taken. Najdorf really was a star in those days.

  Eric Schiller: J Mont-Reynaud vs E Schiller, 1999 at move 20.
Jan-25-11  ozmikey: <Eric Schiller> Very nice. As you say in your notes, that's the sort of move you would consider if there was a pawn there. Perhaps it was the same for Kramer in this case!
Apr-16-22  cehertan: Yes, the hidden shot 20..♘f2!! turns the game.
